Pros
- smart and caring co-workers in the trenches with you
- seems glamorous to the outside world
- learn from the Founders how to masterfully spin PR to make a failing company appear successful to employees, the media, and investors
Cons
- Super disappointing to learn after joining the company that the lip service paid to 'giving back' and supporting worthy causes is untrue - make no mistake, the company pockets the money (ask for receipts!)
- There is zero regard internally for jewelry quality, leaving customer-facing teams to handle the fall out from disappointed buyers.
- The founders are more concerned with raising their personal profiles than improving business fundamentals
- Overtime is not paid despite working conditions, customer refunds are not paid promptly - they'll do whatever they can to hoard cash
